BIOMIMETICS CHEMISTRY Biomimetics chemistry is not Biotechnolgy, it is a new field in Chemical Sciences concerns with synthesizing product/s that could imitate (mimics) biological function and processes. Development of biomimetics chemistry depends mainly in the advancement of molecular based biotechnology which elucidating biosynthetic mechanism of bio- products.

4
is a branch of chemistry that study on how to make products: BIOMIMETICS CHEMISTRY is a branch of chemistry that study on how to make products: Biomimetic Products (making products having function similar or identical to that of the biological products) Biomimetic Processes (organic synthesis based on biosynthetic mechanisms)

BIOMIMETIC PRODUCTS ARTIFICIAL BIOPRODUCTS Example: Artificial Hb Organic chemists have been trying to construct and develop organic molecule that have capability to cacth up reversibly oxygen from the air, similar to that of the haemoglobine. This molecule called: This molecule called:. PICKET FENCE PORPHYRINS.

BIOMIMETIC PROCESS BIOSYNTHESIS PATHWAY Organic chemists have been inspired by biosynthesis pathways of secondary metabolites occurred in nature. They are using such natural mechanism to construct natural products. Such approach known as Organic chemists have been inspired by biosynthesis pathways of secondary metabolites occurred in nature. They are using such natural mechanism to construct natural products. Such approach known as Biomimetic Synthesis.

FUTURE DEVELOPMENT Biomimetic techniques could be used for synthesis of a complex biological molecules, such as steroids, with shorter step of reactions than the conventional ones. Biomimetic techniques could also overcome stereochemical problems faced by conventional synthesis
